Dec 14, 2023Last Train Home manages to offer something fresh without being revolutionary: a RTS game focused on small-scale battles and the intimate stories of a small group of soldiers, elevated by its management mechanics and a deep, immersive story that I can fully recommend. [Recommended]

Nov 27, 2023Last Train Home's other great strength is that all its parts lead so naturally into each other that its considerable length goes by in hour long waltzes from assaulting a town, to upgrading your engine while the fishing expedition walks back, to driving to the next station, to buying some ammunition, to scavenging for fuel, to reaching the next chapter in a fictionalised history of remarkable events that seems now like the most obvious fit for a game ever. To make all this so fun and compelling without feeling tacky or overly sanitised is a remarkable achievement, and one I'm glad to recommend.
